Life in a Little Pink Playhouse

This is our girls' playhouse. Isn't it cute? My dad and Mav built it 10 years ago for Ruth. How wonderful we have had three additional girls since then that will all enjoy it. Our house, built in 1916, has hardly any insulation, but the playhouse is well insulated and has a heater for those cold winter days.

The front door and window were taken from a very old phone booth that once stood in a bar. The hanging light is from the 20's and purchased at an estate sale in Orange, Ca. The little table and chair set are from the 40's and I plan to repaint them someday. (Maybe pink and teal?) The stove and refrigerator have been in Mav's family the last 20 years. The vintage chiffarobe is perfect for dress up and baby clothes.
We just did our spring cleaning and thought I'd give you a peak while it was spiffy!

Wow what a fantastic play house! I know I would have just LOVED it when I was a little girl. I had a play house as well as a play shop that belonged to my great grandmother, I still can't believe we were actually allowed to play in it! It's in storage now but i can't wait until I have kiddies and they can use it.
